By European legislation, employers are obliged to take proper measurements to prevent physical discomforts among their employees. Separate from the screen the keyboard needs to be both tiltable and freely movable to allow a comfortable working position avoiding fatigue in the arms and hands. In addition one must be able to increase the height of the screen by placing a support underneath the monitor. The document holder requires to be stable, adjustable, and positioned so as to minimize uncomfortable head and eye movements. These guidelines do not only apply to desktop computers but also to laptop computer stations. Hence without additional precautions intensive laptop use is prohibited. In some European countries, e.g. the Netherlands, laptop use for a period of more than two hours per day is forbidden. Using an Ergo-Q together with an external keyboard complies with legal workplace requirements by which laptop use is no longer restricted to two hours per day.
